In the News — Magazine

We spoke with Nicole Jones who is the Food Editorial Assistant at Every Day With Rachael Ray. She was working on a column called Supermarket 101 which will appear in the September 2010 issue.

She was specifically wanting us to talk about the advantages of buying food in bulk. We focused on how we not only save money and time, but also how we store the food so that it doesn't go bad. 

This is an article which appeared in a Swiss business magazine. We have inserted a "cheap" (free) translated version of the interview in italics underneath each paragraph. If you are better at translating than Microsoft Word and want to send us your better version, we would gladly post it here (along with your name).

The Economics of the Economides Household

This magazine article is very unusual because we simply don't remember doing the interview that resulted in a four page articles complete with photos. We know that might sound strange, but extra photos from various photo shoots can be posted for other magazines to use and writers can gather quotes from various articles and put together their own story.

That's what we think happened here.

The photos were shot by Jennifer Grimes who was a photographer for the East Valley Tribune Newspaper (we remember doing an interview where she shot a lot of photos).

The Valley's 10 Most Fascinating People

Frugality is definitely in vogue now — give it a try and people might just be fascinated with you too!

Twenty-five years ago, Steve and Annette Economides ventured down a path that has taken them far from the social norm. They decided to buy less and live more simply.

“Not having to constantly earn more so we can buy more, so we can have more, has allowed us to follow the passion that God has laid on our hearts,” Steve says.
